In the centre of the depot, a bonfire was lit to burn the pruned buddleia wood from the clearances two weeks ago.

Elsewhere, more shredded bark paths were laid in the Nature Reserve in Coed Gwilym Park by the pupils of Pen Y Bryn School. They also used the bark to mulch the plants in the garden bed behind the canoe store.  John Donovan, our Education Officer, is creating a great partnership between the Swansea Canal Society and the School.
